I will have dig into my archive ( unfortunately I am short on time for that), IIRC the hypersonic injection altitude should be ~ 20 km and cruise at ~35 km.
Military ram/scram jet will use the same kerosene fuel. Exotic gas fuel is not very appealing for mil use; though ISRO will very likely use LH2.

Didnt ISRO once said that it is going to use kerosene to bring down the costs?
Those using kerosene brings down the thrust value by 2.5 - 3 times compared to that of H2,but think its worth the money we put?
